Abstract

Letter to the Editor Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. Nevertheless, both our study and the study conducted by Response by Liu and Hu to Letter Regarding Delaney et al demonstrate that low dose agonists (thrombin, Article, “Class III PI3K Positively Regulates 0.018 U/mL and 0.025 U/mL; collagen, 0.5 μg/mL; or CRP, 0.5 Platelet Activation and Thrombosis via PI(3) μg/mL) still activate significant ROS generation in platelets de- P-Directed Function of NADPH Oxidase” ficiency of NOX1, NOX2, or VPS34, suggesting the existence of In Response: other mechanisms of ROS generation independent of these pro- We welcome the letter commenting on our recent study, 7,8 teins.
